Steve: Minutes are approved with a 4-0 vote (Jeff and Jean not yet present).

The current board welcomes the new board members.

Tournament: The new board needs to get going immediately on the yearly Memorial Day tournament planning. Confirmation of a date and tournament director are paramount. It will also be necessary to evaluate barriers, tables, and nets for the event. Committees need to be formed in order to implement all that needs done including set up and set down after the event.

Jeff Ruiz: Jeff informs the board that he will be leaving the board for personal reasons. He still plans to assist the club in many different capacities including the team league and coaching. June Lim will replace him for the one year term. Jun is voted in 6-0 (Dennis absent) to replace Jeff.

General agreement that the website needs to be upgraded as it has outdated information and lacks clarity on the calendar and current events.

Ruben: A rough draft of next year’s budget is offered and will be discussed more thoroughly by the next board in the coming year.

Danny: Would like to build on the current tournament prize structure by obtaining sponsorship from businesses in the community. All agree that this is a great idea and will be further explored early in the year.

Jean: Presents a general plan for 2022 including Chairman’s responsibilities, budget ideas, as well as more acknowledgement for those contributing to the club.

Shirts will be given to players attending the U.S., Open representing our club. 6-0 approved. Behnam will identify those who are playing and desiring of the SDTTA logo shirt.
